area to use Ins talents. He came up with his paper
carvings.
Yasuo takes a piece of colored display cardboard

He also paints Japanese scenes in watercolors on

Japan Has
Growing Bridal
Toronto Japanese School Commencement June 26 Market "Boomu"

Dates And Doings

TORONTO.—The Toronto Japanese Language School is about
wrap up another successful school term at the end of this month.
The School has been very fortunate m receiving- tremendous resn-mw
assistance
pvLl'-v' from the general public to the call for financial
*
tn ean-v the school over the past year, and it is hoped that this
iuvoort will continue for the term which starts next September.
* The quality of teaching and the learning ability of the students
ry both branches of the school,, downtown and Scarboro, have shown
marked improvement over the past few years. This can be
p-rributed mainly to the hard work and dedication on the part of
-be teachers as well as to the parental encouragement given to
the students. The facilities provided by the Board of Education
for our school can still accommodate a great many more students
pud the Japanese School Board urges more and more parents to
cnrol their children for the new term which starts in the fall.
Commencement exercises will be held on Saturday. June 26.
1971. starting at 9:30 a.m. at the Toronto Board of Education
Building auditorium located at College St. and McCaul. Parent"
of the students are urged to attend this important event as well
as to the luncheon which follows at the Nikko Garden. —T.J.L.S.

Mamoru Nishi Demonstrates Canadian Bonsai
By H. NISHI
TORONTO.—The Japanese art of bonsai is becoming popular
among westerners. The many Japanese scattered throughout the
western world have taught this art of dwarfing and sculpturing
trees and keeping them in small pots. Mr. Mamoru Nishi from
Bonsai Society Toronto demonstrated the creating of Bonsai with
Canadian specimens.
A featured speaker and demonstrator of the Cleveland coiivenoon was Mr. Frank Okamura from the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens
of New York. He spoke of the “Sense of of Heaven in Bonsai", and
referred to the triangular shape of bonsai outline as representing
the great trinity of Heaven, Earth and Man working in harmony
together.
Mr. Felton Jones of Atlanta, Georgia, the dinner speaker, asked
"What can bonsai do for you?” It can take you on a trip in the
mind's eye. It conveys a spirit and message to the viewer. It is
a guideline to the maker’s personality. It can transport the viewer
back in time, and it has the ability to project into the future and
see what is not yet there. Bonsai requires of the maker patience,
time, and discipline. Bonsai can bring relief from the day’s pressure.
Speakers and demonstrators on the bonsai art were presented
by clubs from Spring House, Pennsylvania, Cincinnati, Ohio, T?rt
Lauderdale, Florida and Toronto, Canada.
Bonsai art through these clubs and associations of clubs brings
a fine fellowship of people together from many backgrounds.
There was a chance to exchange ideas and to discuss the philosophy
of bonsai.

Gone Are The Days Of
The War Movie Fan Maniac
By BILL HOSOKAWA
DENVER, Colo.—“TORA! TORA! TORA!5” — We finally got

cinemas. No Nisei can see this film without strong impressions,
and this column will be devoted to some personal reactions.
